What exactly would you see as much better use of land? Sure we need more factories and shoppingmalls and if not then let's let the land go fallow and what will happen then?
But really, really and truly, you believe that I should not have the right to my own lifestyle because you think that your way of life is superior to mine. You're right, I'm wrong, no in between 'cause you say so. And further I shouldn't have a say. My choice is bend over and take it. Funny, meat eaters don't try to convert veggy munchers, we let you go merrily along your way, though we think that the lack of protein could be a problem.
The point is "Do we no longer have the right to think as we want, live as we want, on the whims of others?"
